She is SO knowledgeable about the female body, very informative and nurturing. She makes sure that 100% of your questions are answered before you begin and before you leave. One of those people you're nervous about handing out recommendations to friends because you don't want them to get too busy to see you!

More about Kathleen Hensch-Fleming, CNM, RN

Kathleen has worked in the field of women’s health for over 31 years. Her career has included positions as a registered nurse, OB department manager, County Commissioner, director of Women’s Services in a large tertiary care hospital, Certified Nurse Midwife and Certified Menopause Clinician. Along the way she has delivered 2,470 babies. In 2000 she co-created Pacific Midwifery Service,the only independent midwifery practice in SW Washington. The goal that was set was to provide quality, personalized, professional health care to women who want to participate in their own care. As a midwife, her emphasis is on teaching and knowing, thus alleviating fears, whether the procedure is a pap smear or a birth. Kathleen’s love and wonder for the birthing process is evident in her passionate approach. “It was not hard to get up in the middle of the night to go to a birthday party!” She sang ‘ Happy Birthday’ at every birth. She has preached the passion for WATERBIRTH for 10 years, and has delivered hundreds of SW Washington women in the water during that time, both at Southwest Washington Medical Center and Legacy Salmon Creek Hospital. She ‘retired’ from delivering babies in 2010 when she reached the age of 60 completing 31 years of obstetric service. Now she devotes her energy full time to full scope women’s health care specializing in Menopause treatment. Kathleen constantly refreshes her knowledge of menopause and symptom management, from personal experience and ongoing education. Her compassion for women in menopause allows her to create individual plans for each woman based on their needs and tests. Her “bag of tricks” includes coordinating hormones, herbs and bio-identicals Monday and Friday appointments reserved for Pregnancy care only, all others book on Wednesda

Kathleen is so nice and she's super informative. You can tell she has a phenomenal amount of experience when you first see her which is very reassuring. Also, you can always feel free to ask her as many questions as you want and she never makes you feel dumb nor tries to rush you. I have been going to Kathleen for a couple years now and I would highly recommend her!

I was very pleased. She took my concerns seriously but firmly explained that I don't need to worry about those things right now. She also sent me home with a prescription to hopefully take care of some pain I have been experiencing monthly.
Verified patient
She eased all my concerns about having another baby. We are thinking about trying to have another one once we sell our house and my first experience didn't go as well as is hoped. But she made me feel welcome and was just realistic and down to earth.
Verified patient
Horrible experience with this practitioner. I was a new patient and waited in the patient room for half hour in my gown only to have Kathleen come in and ask me if I mind a student partaking in our appt. I thought it was a little strange seeing that I was a new patient and had no history with the practice or practitioner but with hesitation agreed to it. Only to then have Kathleen leave the room and have the student conduct my exam. In my mind I kept thinking..."this is strange, I guess Kathleen will come in and do her own exam afterward to confirm everything???" But, no. The student wrapped up the exam only to ask if I had any other questions or concerns. I said, "Ummm...no, I think that's it." Truly thinking..."Okay, so now she'll go get Kathleen and we will discuss my exam."..But no, that didn't happen either. Kathleen never came into see me. She went into another room with another patient. I've never been so frustrated and humiliated! As a new patient I made the appointment because I had some concerns with some symptoms, as would most likely be the case with any new patient. Why would an experienced practitioner pass over a new patient to a student. It was so unprofessional, disrespectful not to mention going against medical code of conduct...a student should never be left to attend a patient without a licensed professional in the room!! I filed a complaint with the Office Manager...I am not paying for this appointment.
